I was in trouble.

‘Should I save it?’

It wasn’t just a matter of not wanting to save it or having such a mindset.

I was just thinking this because this genre is a constellation.

‘If you defeat the puppet mask and save the man, you will receive attention from the Constellation.’

Of course, there weren’t many constellations that paid attention to tutorial missions, etc., but there were special beings, including the main character, in this department store.

Therefore, the names of some of the constellations paying attention to this place were unusual.

Moreover, if I defeat that doll mask now, the future I know will change a little.

‘…huh?’

For a moment, I was taken aback by my own thoughts.

Was I such a cold-hearted person?

Of course, there were times when I did quests before and caused people to die, or even killed people, but most of them were still cheap.

If you were to ask whether the man who was being dressed as a doll was that kind of person, it would be no.

He was just a man without fear or caution.

“…”

I shouted while thinking.

“If you don’t want to lag behind, go up to the second floor!”

At the sound of my yelling, the people on the first floor finally came to their senses and started running to the second floor.

While they spat out harsh words telling me to run to the second floor, I actually jumped to the first floor.

The ceiling was quite high, so a few people gasped in surprise when they saw me fall, but this wasn’t that high for me.

Now, it is safe to say that my physical abilities have surpassed those of humans to some extent.

I just ran towards the doll mask.

Of course, since there were a lot of eyes watching, I ran at a speed that made me think I was a reasonably fast person.

Then, he grabbed the arm of the doll mask and kicked the body of the doll mask with his foot.

Thump, thud.

The arms of the doll mask were torn and pulled out very easily.

And just like that, I led the man and fled to the bathroom in the corner of the first floor.

The doll mask looked at its torn arm and at me, and then headed to the second floor where many people were gathered.

If I go up to the second floor instead of the closer me, it means I passed.

A small response came as proof.

[The Goddess of Justice admires your sense of justice for saving the man.]

Fortunately, it didn’t attract much attention and only one constellation sent me a message.

“Thank you, thank you…thank you…”

“Shut up.”

I calmed down the man who was thanking me with tears in my eyes with harsh words, then took out a ring from my inventory and put it on my hand.

And he immediately pulled out the arm of the doll mask that was stuck on the man’s arm.

“Kheheup…”

I used heels on a man who obeyed my words to shut up.

Originally, I didn’t intend to do this, but since fewer constellations were paying attention than I thought, and since the doll mask went to the second floor, I figured other constellations’ attention would also have gone there, so I gave it special treatment.

And, at the same time, I was curious.

It was a slander not often seen.

A large wound on the arm where a thin, awl-like fingernail pierced the arm.

I was curious about how much healing could be done with level 1 heal.

When I used the heel, the wound on my arm healed quickly, and at least it seemed to have healed to the point where it stopped bleeding.

“How about it?”

“Uh…? It still hurts, but it’s much better…”

The man was embarrassed and looked blankly at his arm.

The inside of his arm was still not fully healed, so he could hardly move it, but the pain seemed to have eased considerably, and the man’s expression suddenly became calm.

Even he himself was taken aback by the change.

For a level 1, it had considerable healing power.

The degree to which a serious injury changes into a minor injury.

It took a lot of energy and mana, but it paid off.

“…”

I stayed quiet for a while, but seeing as no message came back to the constellation, it seemed like no one saw me using heal as I expected.

At least, except for this man in front of me.

“Shut up and hide.”

“Yes, yes.”

I came out of the bathroom, leaving the man covering his mouth with his hand.

The next destination was decided.

According to the original work, the main character and other members of the main character’s party will definitely be there.

In the corner of the second floor, in the ground parking lot.

***

I slowly entered the back door of the parking lot.

The parking lot was already full of people.

Everyone probably had similar thoughts.

They probably wanted to leave this nightmarish place right away, so they gathered at the parking lot where their vehicles were located.

But they couldn’t drive away.

Outside, there were monsters wandering around that looked so creepy that they couldn’t even be compared to doll masks.

I also saw orc-like beings that I missed a little.

People were hiding inside their cars, or hiding behind vehicles or pillars, praying that the doll mask would not come.

So it was even more noticeable.

Unlike other people, there was a pair of brave men and women holding a broom and a mop next to the entrance, holding their breath.

On the women’s side, Eunjeong was glaring at the doorway with a ponytail and a very serious expression.

Next to him, the main character, Jaehoon, was trembling and looking at people in a slightly unstable posture.

Still, looking at the way he was holding the broom tightly, I couldn’t tell whether he was brave or not.

‘Was it originally about now?’

If it were the original, I would have spewed sexual harassment at Eun-jeong around this time.

It was a moment that immediately became unpopular with readers.

Of course, I will keep my mouth shut now.

Because I realized that when I open my mouth, the words don’t come out the way I intended.

There was no need to scrape and make crumbs.

“…That person who just came… Is that him?”

“Ah… the one swearing on the second floor…?”

It seems like it has already made a mark on some people.

There was silence again, and then someone spoke in a happy voice to the people in the parking lot.

“Don’t you just have to hold on for two more minutes?”

Yes, that is correct.

The content of the tutorial quest was to survive the doll mask for only 10 minutes.

However, in the world of webtoons, setting up such clichés was bound to bring misfortune.

“It came…”

As soon as I could speak, a cute teddy bear mask appeared beyond the transparent glass door.

This doll mask has an even more eerie feel due to the absence of one arm.

“Aaaah!”

“Shhh! Hide, just for 2 minutes…”

There were people who screamed at that sight.

Hearing the loud scream, the doll mask turned its head and suddenly ran quickly, pushing the glass door in the entrance with its body and entering.

Now it was the two people’s turn.

“Uaaap!”

phut!

Eun-jeong and Jae-hoon struck down the weapons they were holding with great force.

Then the doll mask, with its head thrown off, fell down in vain.

This was the law.

Even if it wasn’t just two people, it was a level of difficulty that could be easily defeated if someone had the courage to fight.

That is why many constellations are not very involved or looked at in the tutorial.

“Did I really collapse? Are you done?”

“Those two people…”

“What monsters are out there? Do I have to fight with those too?”

The people who had left everything to the two people and were hiding poked their heads out one by one to look at the fallen doll mask.

The two people who knocked down the doll masks were frozen and staring blankly into space.

Your eyes must have been filled with complimentary messages from the constellation and reward messages you would receive for successfully clearing the tutorial.

A scene from the original came to mind.

And surprisingly, I was also rewarded.

[You are recognized as a contributor to the tutorial mission.]

[Acquire base rights.]

It seemed like the act of ripping off his arm was acknowledged.

It’s a base.

not bad.

If done well, it might be helpful in forming a party with these two people.

The problem was that I wasn’t in a state where I could talk in a friendly way to the point where I could have a party or something like that.

“Eunjeong, do the gods talk to you too?”

“Yeah, they ask me to become their own incarnation?”

It was one of the characteristics of constellations.

They looked at all these events from above and selected and supported the person who would become their own incarnation.

The Constellation does not support everyone.

He gave generous support only to people who made him happy or who he liked.

To the Constellation, this was a kind of game.

In the original work, the two people chose their own constellations here.

And I regretted it for quite some time.

It was worth it.

Even if it were a constellation that could determine an incarnation with just a tutorial, it was a low-level constellation with no special significance.

‘Is this the timing?’

I naturally helped them both and waited for the right moment to join them.

And now was that moment.

I took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

“Wait a minute, two people.”

When I spoke up, the two people turned to look at me.

His expression was mixed with caution as to who it was, but it wasn’t bad so far.

“Hwashin is on hold. It’s just a tutorial now, right?”

“…How do you do that? No… that’s what I heard.”

Jaehoon nodded.

He understood what I was saying and nodded.

However, Eun-jeong looked at me with a strange expression, as if she had a hard time believing what I suddenly said.

I opened my mouth to give Eunjeong faith.

“Do you see that arm? I did it, but it’s pretty, my boyfriend-”

The moment I realized that something strange was coming out, I closed my mouth.

I was working calmly without even realizing it.

It was also very greasy and had a somewhat uncomfortable voice.

I barely held back, but it was already too late.

“…Ah, yes…”

Eunjeong’s expression slowly hardened and became cold.

I felt it was tightly twisted from the start.
